Of the nine white applicants for teach

Of the nine white applicants for teach
ers' certificates last Friday, only four
fought the battle through and won.
And let US whisper into the ears of some
of these persons who are eternally
croaking about "man teachers" three of
those who failed were "man teachers )"
the successful ones were females, who
plodded away at their papers until after
o'clock at night. Some people seem to
think that any thing with breeches on
can teach school. A big mistake. 1t
takes brains, not breeches, to teach school.
One of the dear s'man teachers" who
failed Friday, has been peggipg away for
the last two years, trying, or pretending
to try, to teach school. He hasn't q
grammar in his house. Until recently
he took absolutely no paper, educational
or otherwise. No wonder the examina-
tion papers frightened him like the roar
of an earthquake. But he was "man
teacher" let not that fact be- forgotten.
He failed, but be writes us: "Provi-
dence permitting, I intend to come
through all right next April" That has
the right ring about it, and if be but
sticks to that resolution, he may make a
man yet. Yes, "nlan teacher" His
failure may prove blessing to him. We
shall see.

From a Girls Composition OIL Boys.

Boys is men that have not got as big
as their papas, and girls is young women
that will be young ladies by and by.
Man was made before women. When
God locked at Adam He said to Himself,
"Well, l guess can do better than that
if l try again." and then he made Eve.
God liked Eve so much better than He
did Adam that there has been more
women in the world than men ever since.
Boys are trouble. They are very wear
ing on everything but soap. If | could
have my way half the boys in the world
would be little girls and the other half
would be dolls. My papa is SO nice to
me that guess he must have been girl

What it Costs to Raise a Boy.

"My father never did anything for
me-" recently remarked young man
who, few weeks ago, finished his
school life and is now seeking i good
business opening. Judging by the
words aud the complaining. tone in
which they were uttered, the member Of
the firm who heard them Is prone to the
belief that the young mans idea Of doing
something" is an outright gift of $1,000
in lump, or the purchase Of a partner
ship in an established concern. The
young man, TO the knowledge of the
writer, has never done one months actu.
al work for others in his entire life. Hi
life has been passed in the pleasant
pastimes of the home circle, in reading,
studying, hunting, fishing, ball playing,
catching and other employments not
particularly beneficial to others. He is
type of that class Of boys whose parents
are sufficiently well.to do to keep SER
wants to attend the household drudgery
and whose fathers follow vocations in
which no use can be made of the boys
spare time. Like most boys of his class
he looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his pony,
jewelry, bicycle, ETC., as matters of
course. The writer, while the complain.
ing remark was still ringing in his ears,
had the curiosity to make a conservative
compilation Of what it costs to raise an
ordinary boy for the first twenty years of
his life, aud here it is:
500 per year for the first five years $500
sl5O per year for the second five ycars"...... $50
s2OO per year for the third five years.""... 900
$500 per year for the next three ycars...."". 900
$500 per year for the next two ycars....... ,O0O

Miss Lizzie Anderson's letter was
crowded out last week. Miss Lizzie has
our thanks for this mention of the Will
liamston Institute. 1t shows her appre-
citation of the work done there and the
many good things the absent teachers
missed. Miss Anderson was faithful
teacher-pupil, and, we are glad to say,
puts into practice what she learns. Her
note book was vel! filled at the Institute
and her modus operandi in the school
room now fairly sparkles with the many
ideas she caught.

Teachers will get married sometimes.
That's all right and WELL. but when it be-
gins to thin our ranks as much as is done
this fall, it gets to be serious matter
with us. Some weeks ago, Miss Belle
Elrod, of Brushy Greek, was married.
Last week, Mr.. W. P. Holland, of Leba-
non, was married, and few days after,
Miss Annie Emerson bade adieu to
single blessedness. We have no objec-
ton to our teachers marrying, if they
will continue to teach, but when they
speak farewell to Pedagogics just about
the time they have learned to teach sue
cessfully, we must beg to enter an earnest
protest. We regret to lose Misses Elrod
and Emerson from our list of teachers.
They have done excellent work. We
thank them for their efficient labors in
the past, and, in behalf of the Teachers
Association, of which they were both
members, extend to them the heartiest
congratulations. An earnest, faithful
teacher is apt to make good wife.

The question of matchmaking the
court house square coming up, Judge
4. G. Bower addressed the Council,
stating he believed it would be well to
have the public square and approaches
from tho bridge paved and that the
county commissioners court was anx-
ious, In conjunction with the city and
property owners, to have the improve
ment done, provided the city would
use its power to clear the square OF
horse traders aud wood sellers, which
so infested it that lady could not
pass by. Except on regular estray
sale day, he wanted the square cleared
of "the mob" on which he declared
unrelcnting war, and he suggested that
the council should appoint commit
tee, in conjunction with the city attor-
ney, to formulate all ordinance to
prevent the assembly of horse jockies,
ct id omne genus, around the square,
except on re gular estray day.
The suggestion was adopted, and
Messrs. Rowley, Kivlen and Cockrell
were appointed the committee, whose
duty il shall also be to designate a

time In July called at the assessor

check for all taxes reported due by me.
In 1886 and 1887 again called at the
assessor and collectors office, and
paid all taxes reported due by me, and
did not know until very short time
ago, that there were any taxes stand
ing against me on the rolls. This dis.
covery was made in checking up the
rolls, and then Immediately made an
investigation, which satisfied me OF Its
correctness. This done, there were
two questions TO be considered, the
first of which was the honorable way
to. me to proceed. On that question
my mind was perfectly clear, and l
needed no advice. The second ques-
ton was as to the legal effect OF my

ten days ago Mr.. Garrett became con.
vinced that Ives and Staynor had
failed In their effort TO complete the
trade and they were directed to turn
over 10 Mr.. Garretts representative all
documents that had been placed in
their hands. They did 50, and it ap.
peared that they were given TO Mr..
Willard, who forthwith began a thor.
ough investigation of the accounts and
properties of the Baltimore d Ohio
company. Investigation Is still in
process, and il required that Willard
shall visit several cities. He started
on his tour last night. Willard de-
clined to say what discoveries he
had made or what conclusions
he had reached, but people very
close TO him say that the con-
dition of the Baltimore 4 Ohio prop
erty and finances would not warrant
anything like the figures asked by
Garrett, and that unless they were
greatly reduced there would be no
trade. That Garrett would be willing
TO make concessions is doubted. The
deal, first through Sully, and then
through Ives and Staynor and now
through Willard. has committed bis
property so thoroughly to the mercy
